Description
Eviota saipanensis is a tiny, colorful pygmy goby native to the Western Pacific, known for its distinctive green and black banding and red head markings. These micro-predators are shy and require a mature, stable nano reef environment. They are best kept in dedicated small aquariums where their delicate nature and feeding habits can be met.
